President Trump should put his money where his mouth is
Janitor's view ^ | 01/02/19 | Reasonmclucus

President Donald Trump should put his money where his mouth is on the Wall. It's easy for politicians to spend other people's money on projects. If Trump really believes the wall is necessary he should be willing to donate some of his money, possibly his presidential salary, to the wall like many of our fellow Americans are doing. Maybe he could suggest that those running his businesses donate part of the profits to the wall. Trump might try to persuade Congress to match private donations of money or labor.

Selling advertising could be practical near urban areas. Perhaps some companies would be satisfied with using pictures of ads on rural sections of the wall they have paid to construct.

Trump needs to educate those who want gun control to the fact that gun control cannot be effective without border control. A person who can cross the border unchecked can cross carrying 6 M16 rifles while wearing a backpack full of ammo.

Trump already donates his presidential salary to a charity for (I think) orphans of veterans. Donald Trump only takes $1.00 a year. Maybe the author of this piece should research a bit before making themselves look like an idiot?

I’ll second that. Everyone who thinks that Trump has some magic wand to cure all that ails is an idiot. He is one man, alone, against the forces of the deep state.

He’s giving all he’s got. Why the hell should he give more?

Yep - you summed it up nicely. Trump has been fighting for this/us. It would be nice if others helped him out.

Amen, the man is an ass. We voted to have our tax dollars pay to keep invaders out not send money to the Central American sh*tholes who produced the invaders. A kick in the ass to this guy.

Non-sequitur, if it's so easy why isn't the wall built? And if it's so easy why would he have to donate his salary? And everyone but this guy knows Trump already donated his salary to a good cause.

Is "janitor" a pseudonym for A. Occasional Cortex?

President Trump has done more in the short time that He’s been POTUS than All others (both sides) have done combined !!!

He works endlessly, He donates All of His POTUS Payroll to IIRC Upkeep and Restoration of VA Cemeteries.

AND HE CAN BALANCE A CHECKING ACCOUNT!!!

So STFU janitor whatever blog/magazine or ???

Trump refuses to take a salary. Trump has been donating his salary to differing federal gov’t agencies. Don’t know if he has targeted his salary to fund the wall yet though.

For Trump the 400k presidential salary is measly. The dollar value lost by not working on his own ventures far exceeds a 400k salary, by orders of magnitude. His 400k salary donation is only a very small portion of his personal donations. If his donation of time to the presidency was properly valued it would most likely exceed all of his other donations combined.

Right now, Trump could have been enjoying his time as a private citizen, with his supermodel wife, having time with his family.

Instead he is fighting for our future.

I still think my idea to install vending machines facing Mexico that dispense lottery tickets, beer, and cigarettes every couple hundred yards all along the wall is the best way to pay for it.

I cannot believe clowns like reasonmclucus are getting away with this stuff. This is stuff that you would see scratched out on the walls of a loony bin. Next you will read about reasonmclucus’ trip down the Santa Monica Pier to catch the Mothership.

Do you have the slightest idea what that man has already sacrificed to be our president?

Obviously not.
